AHHHHHHH!

Well, I have been getting a lot of crape from people saying I needed to update my blog so I finally did. I posted about 6 new posts. I did realise however that I never posted any pic's of Kreed's 2009 b-day or of Korben first tooth loss. Well I guess you can not be perfect.

Life has been crazy around this house lately. Lots of sickness, we have been to the doctor so much lately. We have had a round of strep and so many ear infections I can't even tell you how many time we have gone in for that and me with sinus infections and Mitch's ankle and the boys surgery, we have had ton's of fun. I am not really complaining because I know some people would be so grateful to be dealing with such minor things, I am merely mentioning them and maybe complaining a little.

We really are doing pretty good though. I love my family and I am pretty sure they love me and we are so blessed. We are looking forward to a fun year. Mitch has started school for this semester and the kids are all doing really good in school. They all have such awesome teachers this year. I have not had one call due to bad behavior so I am happy. Ashton has had to pull a few cards but not enough to get a call home. She prays every night that she can be good at school so she won't have to pull a card. Kaleb thinks it is great because Korben never gets into any trouble so now he finally has Ashton who is not always on her best behavior.

I started working at the Layton Library I clean it for 3 hours a night Monday through Saturday. I still am able to be home with the kids but we needed a little more money coming in due to Mitch's work really cutting back on overtime. Hopefully it will only be for a short time. I really enjoy going in I just put books on my ipod and I get to listen to them and just clean and be alone for a few hours. I find it kind of enjoyable, and a little bit of piece and quiet is great.

Due to Mitch breaking his ankle he had to withdraw from his classes last semester so that kind of stinks but he is back and going to school this semester.

Well that is your update, read on to see pics.

Korben and Kreed's Surgery

Korben and Kreed had surgery on Jan. 12Th. Things went really well. Korben failed his hearing test at school in his right ear, so I had to take him in to see the ENT doctor and he failed the hearing test they gave him so they said he would need tubes again. He had fluid in his ears, same as last time. So Korben had his second set of tubes put in and they also took out is adenoids, which the doctor said can sometimes help with fluid drainage. Korben's surgery went awesome he just pucked several times and after, sense then he has done great, he only took pain meds twice after the surgery.

Kreed had his tonsil and adenoids taken out because they touched and he was always choking. While we were at his appointment I had mentioned to his doctor that he had had several double ear infections and a cold sense before Halloween so he took a look at his ears and said they were bulging because he had so much fluid behind them. They tested Kreed's hearing which he failed in both ear's so the decision was made to also put tubes in Kreeds ears at the same time. Kreed's surgery went really well. The doctor told me he may not want to eat for several day's so really push liquids. When we got home he ate 4 popsicles, a yogurt, macaroni and cheese and the kid has not stopped eating. He has been of pain meds sense the second day. He sounds so much better when he talks, his speech is so much clearer.

We are just glad everything went so smoothly. My Uncle Warren works up at primary's so it was really nice, he took care of the boys.

Ashton's first tooth !!!!

Ashton lost her first tooth and she was so excited. I don't know if you can tell that but she was. She is always making crazy faces in all the pic's we take of her. She is a silly girl. We love our little spaz!!

Christmas morning

Christmas morning was a lot of fun the kids all received bikes and a few other fun things. I pretty much only took pics of Christmas and that is about it. I like Christmas but if I did not have kids I may not have even bothered to put up a tree this year. I know kind of Grinchy but that was just how I felt this year. I was happy to see the kids have fun and enjoy the day. Mitch and I had a really good Christmas we received a lot of money which we purchased camping stuff with, such as a camp chef and a griddle and BBQ thing that goes with it and all the carrying cases to keep it nice and tidy. We were also able to get this table we wanted for camping and some King Kong camp chairs, lets hope these ones last, and a few other things that we had been wanting. Yeah we made out really good. I know it is kind of late but I hope you all had good Christmases.

Christmas Eve PJ's

We only took about 30 pics of the kids in matching pj's and this is what most of them look like. Let's just say they are goof balls and I can't wait until Kaleb's teeth become a little more normal looking.

Korben's 7

Yes my sweet little Korben turned 7. His birthday is December 24Th, so we celebrated a few days early due to a Christmas eve party. He wanted a bow so that is what he got.

CHURCH BALL/ CURSE YOU

Well Mitch was playing volleyball Nov. 12Th I believe and he shattered his talus into 6 pieces and broke the tibula bone in two places. He has been off of work sense then, thank goodness we have short term disability that has covered his full wages. He is just starting physical therapy and his official release date it March 30Th. If things go well it could change. He will be going back to work on light duty on the 27Th of January and he just started school this semester. I have to drive him for the time being, up to the U, until he gets a release saying he can drive. He still is not allowed to put any weight on his foot but that will be changing shortly. He did end up having surgery in order to hook all his bones together and now has 5 screws in order to hold it all together. His doctor has been awesome. I did get a snow blower out of all of this. It has made me so grateful for Mitch and all he does around here, I have been working my butt off. I also started a new job the day after this happened, I have not worked in over 9 years so it has been really crazy and stressful.
